The March checks for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments will arrive with an increase to households in the United States. This new payment will not arrive exactly in March due to a calendar irregularity, but we may receive the payment within the month if our application has been accepted.
In this sense, the Social Security Administration will send the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to eligible beneficiaries with the passed payment increase added. This type of increase is the COLA and will be the same as in the previous months of 2025.
If you have an accepted payment of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), for the rest of 2025 you will have a higher payment than in previous years. Therefore, in the month of March you will be able to enjoy a higher payment of this benefit than in previous years. But the payment will remain the same as in January and February 2025.
When does the March Supplemental Security Income (SSI) arrive?
The truth is that there is an irregularity in the schedule of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for March. The payment of this benefit is usually sent on the 1st of the month, but the 1st of March will be a weekend. When we are in this type of situation, the SSA sends the payment on the immediately preceding working day.
Therefore, we will find that February 28, 2025, will be the day on which the Administration pays a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check with the COLA increase, reaching $967. Without a doubt, getting a payment of almost $1,000 to supplement our regular benefit is very good news.
Requirements to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in 2025
Even so, if we are thinking of applying for this monthly benefit we should be aware that there are some mandatory requirements. What’s more, if we are already receiving the payment but no longer meet the requirements, we may lose the benefit.
Thus, payments from this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check have the following requirements:
- Being 65 years of age or older or having a disability.
- Having a low monthly income, as well as low economic resources.
The Social Security Administration reviews Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applications on an individual basis. This means that citizens who apply for the payment have to wait until it is accepted by the SSA in order to receive it each month.
The amount we receive depends on our income. The more income we have, the lower our monthly benefit will be. And the opposite is also true, so if we have a low income we will get a higher Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit.
It should also be noted that the amount received can change every month, since if our income changes we may receive more or less money from the SSI. It is even possible to stop receiving this monthly check if our income exceeds the limit set by the SSA.
